NEW EAGLETAC MX25L3C (6 X CUSTOM MADE NICHIA 219 B11 CRI-92)

Just noticed this on the eagletac website. Looks interesting...

This is what Eagletac quote about the 219's:
MX25L3C is the first EAGTAC flashlight to feature the unique Nichia 219 B11 CRI-92 SW45 LED. This custom made Nichia LED is the world brightest high CRI LED you can get with neutral white color tint (4500K). Other regular high CRI LED has orangish warm color (3000K).

This is great news. B11 is a new brighter bin that I haven't heard of before. I wonder if the tint will be any different?
My sx25l3 gets extremely hot on full power. My only concern is that this will probably get even hotter.

Re: NEW EAGLETAC MX25L3C (6 X NICHIA 219 B11 CRI-92)

Great news! Let's hope this is the beginning of a 219 band wagon!

Re: NEW EAGLETAC MX25L3C (6 X NICHIA 219 B11 CRI-92)

Looks like B11 is a new max flux bin

NVSL219A-H1


Very interesting. But hardly enough to switch out my dropins again.

Re: NEW EAGLETAC MX25L3C (6 X NICHIA 219 B11 CRI-92)

Pretty nice, I wish EagleTac would made a 4x18650 light, something along the lines of a TK75.

Re: NEW EAGLETAC MX25L3C (6 X NICHIA 219 B11 CRI-92)

Sweeeeeeet ,, Looks very very nice !

Re: NEW EAGLETAC MX25L3C (6 X NICHIA 219 B11 CRI-92)

In the ad I see mentioned MT-G2, XM-L2, and XP-G2. Lots of typos I guess. I see MT-G2 shown for beam profiles, and discussion of the circuitry.

Re: NEW EAGLETAC MX25L3C (6 X NICHIA 219 B11 CRI-92)

Looks like a nice light except for the twisty mode changing. I can live with that. But I hate the way the tube never lines up with the head. If only they dropped the big cutouts in the tube so it doesn't matter.

And the wrong Nichia emitter photo as well.

That's a really interesting new offer, but for me the most interesting part is: "MX25L3C is the first EAGLETAC flashlight to feature the unique Nichia 219 B11 CRI-92 SW45 LED." Since I can't realistically see myself spending this much or carrying this large a device for a high-CRI floody light, I'm far more interested in the possibility of one of these new 300+ OTF lumen 219's in a D series package, or perhaps a TX25C2 mini-thrower. :naughty:

Personally I find a 3x18650 light thick enough, TYVM. I'm betting there are enough people who find a 4x18650 light too thick that it would limit its market.

Re: NEW EAGLETAC MX25L3C (6 X NICHIA 219 B11 CRI-92)

this could be amazing

edit: on tech specs it mentions option for 365 nm UV as an upgrade option. nice! I hope this really does materialize!

Re: NEW EAGLETAC MX25L3C (6 X NICHIA 219 B11 CRI-92)

On this series of lights does the head just rotate while staying in place axially? Or does it "unscrew" as you are changing modes?

Why do they force you to buy the "kit" model to get the crenelated bezel? I wish they all came with the bezel and the rest of the kit items could be purchased as an accessory kit.

Any idea how the two switches interact together if you buy the kit version and use the additional rear switched tailcap?

Re: NEW EAGLETAC MX25L3C (6 X NICHIA 219 B11 CRI-92)

Good looking light, I might pick-up the xp-g2 version.

Re: NEW EAGLETAC MX25L3C (6 X NICHIA 219 B11 CRI-92)

Searching for "219" under the "Product Type", the serching results only show four types of 219B with 80 CRI.
219A with 92 CRI looks like discontinued, unless Eagletac placed a big order to Nichia and Nichia accepted that order.

Re: NEW EAGLETAC MX25L3C (6 X NICHIA 219 B11 CRI-92)

I like the innovation, and restraint. Only using 6 LEDs instead of cooking the center one with 7, or using a 2-3-2 formation with the center man missing.
The T200C2 is a nice middle finger to Surefire and their P3X Fury.

It unscrews. And good luck with the grip lining up with the switch when tightened. It would be ok if they didn't carve the monster sized EAGTAC billboards in the grip. And the big semi-circle notch in the 6 o'clock position. It feels really odd in the hand. Such a shame, because I would choose this over a SWM T60CS if the grip was round.

Look at the GX25A3. The semi-circle cut-out is on the top-side, 180 degrees different from the MX25L3C grip. Look at the SX25A6. It has three rows of triple cut-outs that are turned about 45 degrees out of alignment with the switch. While the other S series lights have good knurled grips with no carve-outs.

They need to hire a new designer. No consistency or logic to the grips at all.

It's not custom it's spec'd in Nichia's data sheet.

B11 is a small bump in lumens compared to the B10, but an improvement is a still an improvement. Baby steps. Now let's see a B14 bin like the lower CRI NVSW 219's.

However, all types of 219A including 291AT-H1 are discontinued. Only four types of 219B with max. 80 CRI are available.
